Subject: New torque setting and lock washer for hub nuts on the steer axle
Background: Due to cases with premature bearing failures on the steer axle hubs, we have reason
to suspect that proper torque procedure has not been used in the factory.
Due to this we have revaluated the torque setting as well as upgraded the lock washer.
Checking and retightening of wheel bearings is included in the 1000 hrs service.
At next service we recommend to use the new torque setting and the new washer.
Action: On machines which have not had the first 1000 hrs service we recommend to do
this prior to next service.
At the same time we recommend to upgrade with the new lock washer.
New torque on KM12 and KM17 nuts.
New lock washer with increased thickness 2,5mm.
Note: Konecranes will not cover any damages related to collapsed hub
bearings due to abuse, lack or incorrect maintenance of the machine.
Instruction: Replace the existing lock washer with the new thicker version.
Lock washer:
MB12A part no new version 6068.072
MB17A part no new version 6068.073
